In Konoha: My canned food shop is very popular in the ninja world

Chapter 165: Tenten: It's bad, it's bad; Sarutobi Hiruzen: What the hell Danzo wants to do

When Tiantian saw the shadow turned into a real person and looked at him, his heart suddenly tightened and it seemed like he missed a beat.

His body seemed to be frozen, and he dared not even breathe out.

She could feel that the look carried some kind of indescribable deterrent force, as if forcing her to look directly at the alien who had been released.

It's clearly just a shadow, but it exudes an invisible sense of oppression.

As if suggesting that it was no longer the lifeless darkness.

It is a being with independent consciousness, even beyond ordinary people.

"broken."

"This guy won't do anything to me, will he?"

Looking at the other person's gaze, Tiantian's forehead broke out in a layer of cold sweat, and his heart beat so fast that it seemed like it was going to jump out of his chest.

But even though her hands were shaking slightly, Tenten was trying to calm herself down.

"After this guy becomes a real person, will he have the memories of a real person?"

"Look at me like that, you must know it was me who did it."

"What does he want to do?"

Tiantian's eyelids twitch violently.

She felt that the shadow seemed to be out of control.

What should I do if I am targeted by this guy?
When Tiantian was thinking this, the shadow that had turned into a real person did not make any move to come over. Instead, it showed an extremely "kind" smile.

The smile was strange and unnatural, as if a puppet that had just learned to laugh was stiffly imitating a human expression, but there was no real emotion in its eyes.

That smile made Tiantian feel uncomfortable, and a chill ran down his spine.

The shadow that turned into a real person stared at Tiantian for a few seconds, as if confirming something.

Then he turned around naturally and walked towards the street in the distance.

His steps were light and steady, as if he had really become a normal person.

"Just like that, leaving?"

Seeing this scene, Tiantian was shocked.

Leaving now?

Watching the back of the shadow that had turned into a real person gradually disappearing into the distance, Tiantian's uneasiness did not diminish, but became even stronger.

She always felt something was wrong.

But I can’t say specifically.

Subconsciously, Tenten glanced at the shadow of the Root ninja that was gradually moving away.

The dead silence and darkness had become still, as if it had really become a lifeless shadow, sticking hollowly to the ground, without any response.

"Ding San, why did you leave your post?"

The next second, another Root ninja saw his companion leaving and frowned: "It's not time to change shifts yet."

However, the shadow that had turned into a real person did not say anything in response to the words of the Root Ninja. He turned a deaf ear to them and walked away directly.

"Forehead."

Seeing this scene, he was shocked and instantly felt something was wrong.

Every member of the Root has a strict task schedule and will not leave their post without permission.

But this "companion" in front of him just left here as if he didn't care about anything?
"Hey, Ding San, what are you doing?"

The Root ninja stood up, his voice cold and low, but with a hint of warning.

What is happening at the root now makes him even more vigilant.

However, when he asked again, the "companion" turned a deaf ear to him, did not even turn his head, and continued to move forward without hesitation.

"Something's wrong!"

The Root ninja's expression changed, and he instantly realized that the situation was definitely not normal.

He took a step forward without hesitation, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot, appearing in front of his "companion" as fast as lightning, trying to block the other's way.

"Chou-san, you are disobeying the orders of Lord Danzo!"

Intercepting his "companion", the Root ninja spoke coldly, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

But what surprised him was.

The shadow that had turned into a real person just raised its head slightly and looked at him with emotionless eyes.

Then he ignored it, as if the person in front of him was just air.

The Root Ninja frowned even more tightly, his intuition told him that there was definitely something wrong with the guy in front of him.

Even if it's your own companion.

Seeing that he was still preparing to leave, he quickly formed seals without hesitation and his hands quickly swept through the air.

"boom!"

A wall of earth escape and earth flow instantly rose between the two of them, intending to block each other's way.

However, to his astonishment, the other party's reaction was exactly the same.

Shadow also immediately formed hand seals and quickly performed the same earth escape technique: Earth Flow Wall.

"boom!"

The two solid earth walls collided with each other, causing a violent impact, with gravel flying everywhere and dust splashing everywhere.

"how is this possible?"

The Root Ninja took two steps back, his face filled with shock and anger.

He was angry that this guy actually attacked him, and he was shocked that the "companion" in front of him hadn't said a word yet, as if he was his mirror image, completely imitating his every move.

What's even more terrifying is that the movements are not only precise, but also have a sense of familiarity and proficiency, as if... they are learning!

He didn't remember that this guy was as proficient in this ninjutsu as he was.

Not right.

Something is definitely wrong!
The Root Ninja's heart was instantly in turmoil, and his mind was filled with countless questions and anxieties.

Then he gritted his teeth in anger and tried to attack again.

"boom!"

He quickly formed hand seals and summoned a Wind Style: Great Breakthrough. A strong wind blew up and he pounced on the opponent like a hot knife through butter.

Shadow showed no sign of being outdone, and quickly formed hand seals and used the same Wind Style: Great Breakthrough.

"boom!"

The two winds collided violently, forming a huge cyclone.

In an instant, dust flew all around, trees swayed, and even nearby buildings were shaking.

"What exactly is going on?!"

A strong sense of uneasiness welled up in the Root ninja's heart.

It seemed that all his attacks were ineffective. Not only was his opponent unharmed, but he also completely copied his ninjutsu, as if he was practicing some weird combat.

This Ding San doesn’t have the Sharingan either.

"Something is definitely wrong."

"We must capture him and bring him to Lord Danzo."

Without any hesitation, he decided to capture this guy instantly.

There's something wrong with this guy, not normal.

No matter how many doubts he had in his mind, he had to capture this guy first.

"boom!"

While he was taking action, his "companion" on the opposite side also took action.

"boom!"

The battle between the two sides gradually escalated, and the collision between ninjutsu continued to set off huge roars, shaking all directions, as if the whole street was shaking with their fight.

The movements of this Root Ninja became more and more impatient, while the shadow that had turned into a real person became more and more calm, as if he was enjoying it all.

Suddenly, Shadow's expression changed, and a hint of mockery flashed in those ruthless eyes.

It is no longer just imitation, but begins to actively attack.

Its movements were swift and precise, as if it had seen through all of the Root Ninja's intentions. Its several attacks forced the Root Ninja to retreat again and again, in an embarrassing state.

"what happened."

The hearts of the Root ninjas were already filled with fear and anger.

He simply couldn't understand what was going on with this monster in front of him.

If it was a transformation technique, there is no reason why he hasn't said anything until now.

The other person's eyes were cold, and he seemed like a completely different person. He felt something was very wrong.

Even the style of fighting has changed.

By constantly imitating him, he could easily tell them apart.

But how is this possible?

What's the point of imitating his fighting style?

This guy's talent isn't that good at all.

The Root Ninja gritted his teeth and rushed forward once again.

"Bang bang bang!"

The two sides fought again.

Every move and every style of the Root Ninja was filled with ruthless killing intent, but the shadow on the opposite side, which had become a real person, moved as quickly as a ghost, with almost no pause.

The Root Ninja's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He quickly formed seals with his hands and roared as he used his most proficient Fire Release Ninjutsu.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

With a sudden inhale, the hot chakra in the chest quickly condensed.

Then a huge flame burst out of his mouth, forming a blazing fireball and heading straight in the direction of the shadow.

The flames rolled, instantly burning the surrounding air extremely hot. The firelight reflected on the tense and angry face of the Root Ninja, as if it was going to devour everything in front of it.

However, the shadow that turned into a real person seemed to have anticipated the arrival of this move.

He quickly formed seals, and his hands moved as fast as an afterimage, performing wind escape at the moment the flames approached.

"Boom!" The power of the fireball was detonated by taking advantage of the wind.

The wind escape technique and the fire escape technique intersected, causing a violent explosion. Flames mixed with strong winds rolled wildly in the air, sparks flew everywhere, and heat waves hit the face, burning the surrounding trees and buildings to a charred state.

The Root Ninja was shaken back by the sudden explosion, his eyes narrowed into slits, staring at the center of the explosion.

The air was filled with smoke and the thick smell of gunpowder was suffocating.

As the smoke cleared, the Root ninja realized that the shadow that had become a real person was no longer there.

It seemed to disappear without a trace in an instant, leaving only the charred ground and hot air around it.

"Ran?!"

Seeing his opponent fighting with him and fleeing from the spot, the Root Ninja's expression changed drastically.

There was something wrong with this guy.

He had no intention of fighting him to the death, but was looking for an opportunity to evacuate.

But, as a Root ninja, is it crazy to disobey the orders of Lord Danzo?

Thinking back to the way the other party had just imitated his fighting skills, it was as if he was testing and learning.

"This strange situation must be reported to Danzo-sama."

Without any hesitation, he decisively chose to leave and report the situation here to Lord Danzo.

At this time, the explosion here also attracted the attention of Konoha's patrolling ninjas.

Everyone's face turned pale and they hurried here.

"Who are you? How dare you fight in the street at this time?"

"Damn it, such a large-scale battle, don't you know that it has violated the order of my Konoha Village?"

"There are ANBU ninjas here, go and notify them."

"Also, report this matter to the Hokage-sama. Such a large-scale ninjutsu clash is not an ordinary ninja fight."

One after another, people rushed over with shocked and angry voices.

"It's bad, it's bad, we have to go find Lin Mo."

The third floor of the Tiantian Ninja Tool Shop.

Tiantian, who witnessed all this, swallowed his saliva and decisively chose to leave.

This shadow scissors is so dangerous.

She still felt that she should go find Lin Mo to ask him.

"There was an explosion outside our house?"

"Don't go out, just stay here."

In the Tenten Ninja Tool Shop, Tenten's father and mother, who were forging ninja tools, looked at each other in confusion.

There was a commotion outside and the fighting was taking place not far from their shop.

"Is it caused by this hidden weapon?"

Tiantian's father looked down at the butterfly dart in his hand subconsciously with a serious expression.

This thing isn't that unique.

Although it is more suitable as a hidden weapon than the kunai, he believes that as he sells it, there will definitely be ninja families who will imitate it, which is not difficult.

He was also aware that his own ninja tool shop was supervised by two Root ninjas arranged by Lord Danzo.

But who in the ninja village can fight against the Root Ninja?
are you crazy?
While the two were looking at each other, Tiantian had already run down, left his shop and went straight to the jar shop.

On the way, I saw many people running towards the place where the fighting was taking place every day.

Not only ninjas, but ordinary people as well.

There is always a lack of people watching the fun.

"what happened?"

When Tiantian rushed to the jar shop, Lin Mo opened his eyes and looked at Tiantian with a strange expression.

Why are you in such a hurry? Is there something urgent?
"Lin Mo, I cut off the shadow of the Root Ninja."

Tiantian quickly told Lin Mo everything he had just done and seen, and Lin Mo's eyelids twitched.

Is this kid so strong?

"So, the shadow that turned into a real person has a strong learning ability. He should thank you for turning him into a real person in the end?"

For a moment, Lin Mo pinched his chin and fell into deep thought: "It's a bit unexpected that he didn't become evil."

After all, in his opinion, the shadow cut by the shadow scissors should become more evil.

But what is currently demonstrated is the terrifying learning speed.

No, it’s not about learning speed, it’s about re-experiencing your own body memory.

Shadows cannot speak, but they can "learn" to speak again through the speech of others and regain the skills that their bodies have mastered.

I haven't tried the shadow scissors, but Tiantian has tried it.

This thing is very dangerous.

"Yes."

Tiantian's face was filled with sorrow: "He won't tell anyone about the things I did to help him, right?"

After all, that look clearly showed that she knew she was using the scissors to cut off the shadow.

"probably not."

Lin Mo pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "First of all, he didn't say anything. Secondly, he must be grateful to you. However, he is in Konoha Village and is a Root Ninja. He must have the curse seal cast by Danzo on his body."

"Well, don't worry too much."

The Root Ninja who was ordered by Danzo to guard the door of Tenten's Ninja Tool Shop and supervise the Butterfly Darts was not an ordinary Root Ninja.

It must be Danzo's assassin.

Danzo definitely holds this ninja's life in his hands, not just the seal of eradicating tongue evil.

"call."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief.

That's really great.

When you breathe a sigh of relief every day.

the other side.

Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also received the message and frowned: "Have you found out what the battle was?"

"The Anbu are investigating. It will take some time."

The purple-haired ANBU ninja whispered, "It just happened. I just sent someone to investigate."

"Compared to the previous battle, I guess it might be related to Orochimaru."

"Orochimaru."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned.

While smoking, he thought: "Now, anyone who can take part in the Chunin Exam is a good candidate for him."

"And I have arranged for the Anbu ninja to go to the Forest of Death. He should have left."

"He shouldn't care about the other ninjas in Konoha Village."

"But the battle on the roof of the hospital was quite confusing."

As he spoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up a document next to him and frowned.

The above details that several patrolling ninjas saw something like a terrifying black barrier on the rooftop of the hospital.

Not only were there strong signs of fighting at the scene, but there was also a terrifying amount of chakra remaining.

Orochimaru seemed to have fought with someone.

"Was it Kakashi and the others? They were close at the time, but they didn't fight."

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned.

He knew very well what kind of person Orochimaru was.

I came to Konoha Village for Uchiha Sasuke.

Since the curse has already been placed on Uchiha Sasuke and not on others, it means that others are not as good as Orochimaru's eyes.

And Orochimaru had no reason to stay in Konoha Village.

Why are you still in Konoha Village?

And they fought in the daytime?
But if it wasn't Orochimaru who did it, then who could it be?
It is impossible for the jonin from other ninja villages to have the courage to fight and destroy so openly in broad daylight.

Sarutobi Hiruzen fell into thought.

soon.

The Anbu ninja arrived quickly and reported respectfully: "Hokage-sama, there are traces of Root ninja fighting at the scene. Apart from that, there are no traces of other ninjas."

"Traces of Root ninja fighting?"

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked shocked: "Why is there still a root?"

Isn't that guy Danzo seriously injured now?

The ninja who is shrinking his root.

He can also let his own Root Ninjas fight each other.

"Yes, there are only traces of battles of Root ninjas, nothing more."

The ANBU ninja who came to report had a strange tone: "Neither side even used ninja tools, there were only some traces of ordinary ninjutsu. As for more specifics, we need to ask Advisor Danzo."

"Did the Root ninja capture someone?"

Suddenly, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of Danzo's previous actions, his face darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "Immediately send someone to ask Danzo who he has captured and whether he has attacked the Hyuga clan again? Is he crazy?"

"Also, continue to check the situation at the scene and pay attention to the Hyuga clan."

"Yes."

Hearing this, the Anbu ninja nodded respectfully, turned around and quickly left, heading for the Root base.

And at this time.

At the base of the roots.

The Root ninja who had returned reported what had just happened to Danzo and stood in front of Danzo honestly.
